Q&A for How to Make People Want to Be Around You

Let people know that you're willing to help them out if they ever need it. Then, when people come to you, actually listen to them and follow through on your promise. People will keep coming to you if you do that.

Look at them. Eye contact is the first sign of interest. If they see you looking at them, they will know that you are interested. Also, make yourself look approachable. If you are staring down at your phone or a book, or listening to music all the time, nobody will try to talk to you. They will think you are socially awkward or that you don't want to talk to anyone in the room.

Work on befriending one person in the group, and then ask him to introduce you to the rest of the group. When you're with them, act friendly and relaxed. When they are talking, make eye contact with them so you seem interested in what they are saying.

If the popular group includes nice and friendly people, then just become good friends with a person from the popular group and then they can introduce you to the other people. In my opinion, popularity doesn't matter but good friendship does so if the people in the popular group are gossipers, leave them alone and find better friends.

Expand your horizons and get out of your comfort zone. Wear flattering clothes, be nice, smile a lot, and talk to people. Talk about the new gossip and hang out with different groups of people.

Just be positive and look at your bright side, like what are you good at and are you a very nice person? If you want to make them spend more time with you all you have to do is to spend more time with them by talking to them and hanging out with them. That way they will know that you're a good person and will want to hang out with you.

Talk to new people. Chat with your classmates before class starts, try sitting with a new group at lunch, etc. Try to make friends with people you know you have something in common with. Joining clubs can be a good way to meet people with similar interests.

It's never easy, but talk to her and find out what's going on. Maybe you offended her without knowing it, or maybe she's just trying to make some new friends. If that's the case, make some new friends yourself.

If you like the person, then maybe ask him/her out after you know each other better. However, you don't always have to be dating. You could just be friends.

First of all be friendly and approachable. Try to start a conversation. Talk about your views, get to know that person better, and deepen your relationship with the person gradually.

Respect their choice. You can't be close friends with everybody. Maybe this person is just busy and doesn't have time for a new friendship right now, maybe there's something going on at home, or maybe they just don't feel like they really click with you. Just accept that they don't want to get any closer and move on.

Whenever I'm around people, I ask them about themselves, and that seems to get them a little more interested in the conversation. Also, don't make assumptions; they could be enjoying what you have to say and just not showing it!

Smile at the right time, contribute to class discussions on a moderate level, say hi to people with a smile, become funny in your reactions during class, and be yourself.

Try to ask the question again when she can hear you. Maybe she just did not hear you. If she still does not talk about it when she can clearly hear you, try asking her why she did not answer later.
